About our sink repair in Brancepeth
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brancepeth. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Brancepeth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Brancepeth
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Brancepeth questions

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
We cover the entire UK, including Brancepeth and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
